Improve Sales Performance with New Coaching Enhancements from Brainshark and CCI

Whether you already have an established coaching program in place, or don’t know where to start, there is little doubt about the impact coaching has on sales productivity.

In fact, Ventana Research found that “training and coaching led to an increase of 88% in productivity, versus 23% from training alone.” However, many sales organizations struggle with driving a coaching culture and ensuring managers take the time to coach their reps effectively. By developing and investing in a formal coaching program, sales leadership can ensure that front-line sales managers have the training and resources in place to coach reps and drive business performance.

Expanded sales coaching services from CloudCoaching International

If you’re considering starting a formal coaching program and don’t know where to begin, or want to strengthen or scale your existing program, your team will greatly benefit from third-party expertise. At Brainshark, we’ve recently expanded our partnership with CloudCoaching International(CCI), to provide our Brainshark for Coaching customers access to world-class coaching professionals. Now, not only can customers access role-based CCI resources right within the coaching platform, they can also take advantage of personalized virtual coaching sessions and workshops led by CCI experts, to establish winning behaviors and align their organization around an exceptional coaching program.

New virtual group workshops led by CCI help to define what an exceptional sales pitch looks like, getting your team started on the right foot. Or you can tap into the expertise of CCI by having one of their certified coaches directly review your team’s challenges in the Brainshark for Coaching platform. Modeling good coaching practice is a great way to support your managers and grow their confidence as your program gets started.

We have seen fantastic results in terms of participant feedback and financial performance. We routinely receive 'best training in my career' comments from our sellers.
